The Road by Daytona

Keep torturing myself with this one

Save Me by Aimee Mann

Everybody hurts.

Tired of Sex by Weezer

So Pinkerton holds up.

Valentine by The Moths

This one’s sticking.

Heaven by Popstrangers

Listened to this song so much I’ve singularly affected its popularity rating on Spotify.

Feels Like You by Splashh

Favorite new band, favorite new album, favorite song off that album. This song feels particularly Deerhunteresque.

Henry Lee by Nick Cave & PJ Harvey

I’m not the same, not after this

Lie Down Here and Be My Girl by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Well fuck.

Creme Caramel by Catherine Wheel

Boy I’m feeling really bruised

Heavenly Pop Hit by The Chills

Because James, House of Love, Stone Roses, Inspiral Carpets, Love Spit Love, REM

I Should Live In Salt by The National

Think about something so much

Gorilla (demo) by Bruno Mars

A little bit of Steven Tyler in the vocals, a little bit of Mr. Big’s “To Be With You” in the guitar. But the lyrics are beyond compare.

Sister by Kate Nash

A metaphorical palimpsest of Hole’s “Violet”

Laid by James

Call me pretty

Never Again by Slumber Party

Never again, again, again

Burning Up by Madonna

I’d preferred the Ciccone Youth version up until recently.

Wicked Game by Chris Isaak

Fuck it

Angst in my Pants by Sparks

I know Sparks have always been such a novelty, but this song telegraphs a lot of shame and anxiety.

Love of Diagrams – A Part of You

A favorite from when my life got weird

Slip Stitch by Silver Dapple

Is it the 90s again yet

The Nude by Catherine Wheel

The guitar solo that broke my heart

Andy Warhol by Despair

A cover of Andy Warhol, originally by The Vibrators.

Heather by The Wedding Present

Officially regret not seeing them in 2012 when they were playing Seamonsters
